I am here to promote the new Concorde service. Air France has already purchased four of these planes and has just established service between Paris and Rio, Caracas and Washington, D.C. This is the greatest and the most beautiful aircraft ever built. It can travel at Mach 2 and it will change the way we think about flying forever. I am proud to represent the future., from the "Working" series

Here, a downed soldier, with shell fragments in his back and legs, is carried by his comrades, one wounded about the head, across an open area during a lull in the fighting, March 8, 1968

Training Pays Off: South Korea: In the rugged, treacherous terrain of Korea, the battle of supply is quite often more important and more violent than the actual combat between men. One unit of the 19th Infantry Regiment, their stones and ammunition shrunken by poor transport and worse roads, discovered a small railroad. Near their position and proceed to make use of it. Utilizing some battered equipment and their own ingenuity, they fashioned an adequate supply line on rails. The tiny railroad was named “Spaulding’s Spur,” after an executive officer in the Regiment. A group of GI’s, aided by some South Koreans, assemble a railroad car from some discarded equipment they found, September 23, 1950
